The drugs were very expensive by then. The social worker primarily helped me to apply for another cancer fund but there were a number of limitations. The drug I needed was not included in the list provided by that fund and therefore no subsidy was granted. I was truly despaired. Later, the social worker helped me to apply for the Yan Oi Tong Chong Sok Un Medical Fund (cancer aid). To my surprise, the application was approved in just two days and I receieved subsidy for my therapy which used 4 jabs in total. I am unable to look after my husband now. Fortunately, the home care service team of Yan Oi Tong offers to bring him meals and accompanies him to for medical follow-up. The appearance of Yan Oi Tong is as marvelous as a miracle.
